Day 3

Aristy, my favorite teacher in the whole world, came to visit me this morning at the hospital. She brought so many drawings and letters from my friends at school, and read them aloud, I LOVE IT! My dad hung them all on the wall in front of my bed, so I can look at each of them whenever I want.

The aim of this weekend is just to relax and recover from the surgery. I had a good night sleep and hopefully I will soon feel well enough to get out of the bed and roam around the hospital, because that is what I really want to do.
This place is huge and it has really changed since last time I was here, and so many new places to discover. The hospital is made out of many different buildings that are connected to each other by bridges and tunnels. It is a bit of a maze, honestly. The different buildings have different names. For example, I sleep now in 'River'. River has different elevators with different names as well, such as 'salmon', 'bear', and 'frog'. The 'frog' elevator  can bring you to the 'Forest' building where I was staying yesterday. From there you can walk all the way over to 'Ocean' and 'Mountain'. Confused yet? Not me, I have a map (I LOOVE maps)!

    From Oliver: I hope you get better soon. I'm sorry we couldn't visit yesterday. I wanted to give you my card myself. PS I love maps, too! Will you show me the map of the hospital when I come visit?
    From Kaycie: Happy Mother's Day, Sacha! I love the way you find every opportunity to give Maarten experiences and culture that make him the beautiful young man he is.

    From Jackson: I hope you get better soon. I want to visit you on Tuesday as I will be over town in the afternoon. I made you something yesterday and I want to give it to you. If you have your own tv in your room (which I don't), maybe we can watch something and take it easy? Sincerely, Jackson.

    Hi Maarten! We wish we could come and visit you this weekend, but Flora has a cold and we don't want to bring our germs to you. Hopefully in a few days, we will be germ free and can come and see you! Sacha, Happy Mother's Day to you, one of the best moms I know! xoxoxox Holly

    I miss you when working with the kids on the dust bowl story. I'm looking forward to seeing you back at school or around Vashon.

    Hi Maarten, you have been in the hospital for a long time. It is so fun having you in our class. We can't wait for you to get back to school. Our entire class was so surprised to hear that you went back in the hospital. We hope you get back to school soon.
    Sincerely, Owen Coley
